Title

Electronic Performance

Problem Scenario

If sitting in different positions can affect your performance while using electronics.

Broad Question

What kinds of things can affect the way you use electronics?

Specific Question

Dose the way you sit affect the way you use electronics?

Hypothesis

The way you sit will affect your performance while using electronics i think lying down will have the best results.

General Plan

Potential Problems And Solutions

One problems i would have would be if i got kicked from the xbox game if my internet stops working. To fix this i will have the people play offline games.
Another problem i could stumble in to is if my laptop or xbox died and to fix this i will plug them into a charger while in use.

Safety Or Environmental Concerns

If some one were to spill water on the xbox and someone got electronic performence

Experimental Design

Number Of Comparison Categories:

There is only one comparison categorical that will be electronic performance or Xbox score.

Number of Comparison Samples:

There will be about three different people testing the same thing so about three samples

Number Of Observation In Each Sample:

I will take about 9 observations three different ones from each person.

When data will be collected

It will all be collected in one day over a course of about 90 mins.

Where will data be collected?:

The data will be collected at my house.

Resources and Budget Table

Item	Number needed	Where I will get this	Cost
Xbox	1	My house	$0
Laptop	1	My house	$0

Detailed Procedure

1. First you will need to get an xbox and a laptop for the tests.
2.I will pick three people that have never played Xbox before
3. Then i will have each of them play the game for 10 minutes for each sitting position. Sitting close to the TV sitting far from the TV, lying down away from the TV.
4. While my testers play after every game in the different sitting positions i will recorded the data and put the data into a graph.
5. After the test with the Xbox I will have my testers type words for 10 minutes.

Results

The results of this science protect supported my hypothesis of the sitting position will effect the score/performance while using electronics.

Conclusion

The way you sit will affect your performance while using electronics i think lying down will have the best results. my hypothesis was correct lying down had the best rusults.

Discussion

In my experiment I was finding the performance of electronics in different positions from three different people. I was able to answer my question of "Will sitting in different positions effect someones performance while using electronic? The answer is yes, sitting in different positions can effect someones electronic performance greatly as seen in my results. These results could help someone who uses electronic with there work. My graph could be improved if I had more electronics and or people.

Benefit to Community and/or Science

My experiment will benefit the community and/ or science by letting multiple people know how sitting in different positions can effect your electronic performance.

Background Research

I have done some background research and found that the Xbox 360 is the second gaming console ever made by Microsoft.

Abstract

The point of my experiment is to help people use electronics in different positions to help there performance with these electronics like to help typing or playing a game for example. To start my experiment I asked three people to help me with my experiment after i had each of them sit in three different positions and play for a timed 10 minutes. After three trials from three different people my data and results show that lying down gives the best electronic performance. So finally according to my data lying down while using electronics is the best way to get the best performance.
